My realtor and I recently met Benjamin about a zoning violation at a property we were interested in. I got in touch with Benjamin and gave him some preliminary information and we scheduled an initial consultation.
At the meeting, Benjamin was very well prepared with all the relevant information and summarized his findings for us in a lucid, honest manner.
He also advised us about our different options, the costs involved and the likelihood of any of those options working in our favor.
In the end, we left the meeting with the information we needed to decide whether it was worth our while to proceed with the property. Completely satisfied that we had sound legal advice before committing a substantial amount of monies.
I specialize in land use and zoning law and particularly in the rezoning/entitlement process in both municipalities and counties. I also specialize in special use permits, use permits, and variances. Our firm does 75% of its work in Phoenix and in Downtown Phoenix infill projects, but we also have clients is Chandler, Mesa, Tempe, and within Arizona's outlying county jurisdictions.
My land use and zoning practice is intertwined with lobbying and government relations at the municipal, county, and state levels. I am a registered lobbyist within the State of Arizona.
While this is not part of my general practice area, I currently serve as a volunteer attorney for the Volunteer Lawyers' Program, Tenants' Rights Clinic.
